By now many of you know that IOWA will be hosting the 2012 National Jr. Limousin Show & Congress, July 4-14, 2012 in Des Moines, IA. Also since the 2012 Iowa Show will be the first state to pay most of the expenses incurred with the show, we have created a unique way of fundraising, this will be the ONLY fundraiser IOWA is doing.

IOWA is offering the "Lucky 7" Bred Heifer Raffle selling 777 tickets at $100 each for a chance to win all 7 bred Limousin and Lim-Flex females bred both ways as well. The drawing will be held at the Iowa Limousin sale at the Iowa Beef Expo in February. Of our tickets we have less than 75 tickets currently for sale and would like to end this project ASAP and start concentrating on the 2012 show. To view the females go to www.iowalimousin.org

We would like for you to consider purchasing a ticket (s)as support of the show and also a great way to incorporate some awesome new genetics. If you would like a ticket please email me back and I will hold it for you. Then make out your check to the Iowa Limousin Assn. and mail it to me, Ann Vorthmann, 31112 Hwy 6, Treynor, IA 51575-6231 and I will mail back your stub when I receive your check. If you have any questions please call me 402-981-1093.

All sponsors of the raffle will be recognized in the show program and throughout the barns and show. We hope to hit the 500 head mark again in IOWA in 2012 and hope you will not only be a sponsor but also plan to join us by attending or bringing cattle. Iowa is very excited to once again host this great event and look forward to meeting all of you in Des Moines.
